1.) Bank Reconciliation
2.) General Journal
3.) Bad Debt Calculations
4.) Notes Recievable Calculations
In June, Bill commented to you that he could never figure out his bank statement, “it never matches the balance in my accounting records” he tells you. So you explain that a bank reconciliation is a tool used to balance the bank statement to the accounting books. He gives you his bank statement for June, 2014 (shown below). The general ledger shows a balance for the account cash of $14,319.00 on June 30, 2014 (detail transactions below). Bill’s business only has one checking account and no other cash accounts.
Bill has begun to have problems collecting some of his credit accounts and is considering writing off a couple of customer account balances. He asks you how these bad debts should be recorded and has asked you to begin recording bad debt using the allowance method for June, 2014. Selected account balances at the end of June, 2014 are:
Sales $7,200
Sales on Credit $2,900
Accounts Receivable $3,200
As a result of increased focus on collecting accounts receivable, Bill has decided to extend credit for one customer, Alan Jones, who owes Bill’s Lawn Care $500. Bill and Alan have agreed to a 90-day 6% note for $500 issued on June 5, 2014.
Instructions:
Using the bank statement and the general ledger, prepare a bank reconciliation for Bill’s Lawn Care as of June 30, 2014. Record the necessary journal entries to adjust the books for the appropriate reconciling items. Start with Page 6 for the journal entries. Explanations are optional.
Using the information given above, calculate the amount of bad debt using:
Percentage of Sales on Credit = 1.5%
Percentage of Accounts Receivable = 1%
Using the chart of accounts, record the journal entry for bad debt expense for Bill’s Lawn Care using the percentage of sales on credit method.
Using the note receivable information above and the chart of accounts, record the following entries in the general journal (continue these entries on Page 6):
Receipt of the note in payment of the accounts receivable balance.
Adjusting entry at the end of June, 2014 for the note receivable. (Round interest calculations to two decimals)
Assume that Alan pays the note and interest in full on the due date, record the necessary journal entry. Assume that interest has been accrued at the end of each month.
Assume that Alan defaults on the note and interest on the due date, record the necessary journal entry. Assume that interest has been accrued at the end of each month.
Please note that the calculation pages in the Excel template are required and graded. Please show your work on those pages.

Explanation / Answer
A Bank reconciliation is a process that explains the difference between the bank balance shown in an organization's bank statement, as supplied by the bank, and the corresponding amount shown in the organization's own [accounting] records at a particular point of time.
The reasons for the difference between the balance on the bank statement and the balance on the books includeoutstanding checks, deposits in transit, bank service charges, check printing charges, errors on the books, errors by the bank, electronic charges on the bank statement not yet recorded on the books, and electronic deposits on the bank statement that are not yet recorded on the books.
If an item is on the books but has not yet appeared on the bank statement (outstanding checks, deposits in transit), the items are entered as an adjustment to the balance per bank statement. Outstanding checks are a deduction to the balance per bank; deposits in transit are an addition to the balance per bank.
If an item is on the bank statement but has not yet been entered on the books, the items are entered as an adjustment to the balance per books. Bank service charges, check printing charges, and other electronic deductions that are not yet recorded on the books are deductions from the cash balance on the books. Electronic deposits not yet on the books are added to the cash balance per books.
